You will need to reset the association for URL's. Open a Windows
Exporer window and go to View, Folder Options. Select the File Types
tab. Click once in the window showing the file types. Now pressU"
(without the quotes) and it will get you near the URL listings scroll
until you find the first. Check to see that it is using Internet
Explorer. If not, it should be using RUNDLL32. If its not one of these
two, you will have to modify (Edit) it. Select the first that does not
match the above critera and then click on EDIT then the second EDIT
button. You can use the browse find the Internet Explorer. (It might
be faster to use the Find to locate it so that you can go to that folder
faster than just scanning around.). Once you have changed it to IE,
click OK, OK and it should take hold the next time you bring up your
email. You will need to check each of the URL associated entries to
make sure that they are correct.
